About this file

This supporting documents file pertains to a pedestrian bridge construction project in Ontonagon County, Michigan, involving state and local agencies overseeing trail infrastructure development. The project involves the construction of a pedestrian bridge across the Little Iron River to connect portions of the North Country Trail (NCT) within and adjacent to state park lands. The bridge will be approximately 63 feet in length, spanning from the top of the north bank to the top of the south bank. The project location includes private land holdings (36 acres) surrounded by state park land, with the proposed route following an existing road and former rail grade that is currently in good condition with vegetation cleared 8-10 feet wide. Site reconnaissance was conducted on October 22, 2017, by Eric Cadeau, Jeff Gaertner, and David Merk, with detailed stream crossing data collected for the Little Iron River at coordinates N 46 degrees 44.81', W 89 degrees 38.35'.

The Stream Crossing Inventory Datasheet documents existing conditions and erosion patterns at the proposed bridge site, including dimensional specifications, substrate composition, and photographs of upstream and downstream conditions. The file includes conceptual bridge design plans and references to as-built plans from similar installations such as the Craig Lake State Park pedestrian suspension bridge as design examples acceptable to the Public Service Commission (PSC). Documentation encompasses plat maps, topographical maps with construction easement routes, and detailed site sketches indicating project features, erosion locations, and directional flow patterns. The file does not contain explicit information regarding contract pricing, bid response dates, funding sources, or award timelines, indicating this represents preliminary project documentation supporting the solicitation materials rather than final contract terms.
